Once he pulls his hand away, you feel like you have to tell him what you learnt from the Agent. "Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major. On their radar. Agent is a decoy. They're trying to learn any plans you have." This immediately gets Alex's attention but for now, he doesn't respond. <<span class="mu-b">"Gotta review the security footage later."</span>>
"Oh, yeah, why were you...afraid of him?" You ask Kiara about her odd hesitation with the Agent. You thought she would've been ecstatic. "Thought you wouldn't hesitate as much."
Kiara doesn't really know how to answer this given she takes a long time to respond. "I dunno. It's his face. I can't describe it but every part of me was screaming at me that I shouldn't be anywhere near him. But it was just a normal human face?" Kiara shrugs. "Only real reason I was hesitating. It was an interesting scoop otherwise."
[SILVER INSTINCTS] You swear Naomi is drooling now. "Goo-" Naomi clears her throat while wiping away the drool with her sleeve. "Intentional."
You would say something but you don't really have the RAPPORT to bridge that subject with her yet. The rest of the walk takes place in miserable hot silence. If it wasn't for the fact you were on a (shoddy) painkiller, you would've melted into sludge by now.

And you know you're in the right place when the first thing you hear is a fucking <span class="mu-r">explosion</span> going off a few miles away. The Training Course part of the base is to the very far east of the base, presumably to make sure no important buildings are caught in whatever sort of makeshift hell they made here.
Seems like the files Kiara found on Preston's computer were right for the most part. To the left is a massive obstacle course that you think is pretty standard for training soldiers. Barbed wire to crawl under, rope bridges, rock climbing walls, massive pools of muddy water...list goes on. The only things that look out of place is <span class="mu-b">there's a section completely iced over somehow?</span> A lot of tired but relatively healthy soldiers are recovering nearby it. <span class="mu-b">Probably trains some decent TALENT, VIOLENCE, and/or FLESH.</span>
To the middle is a completely unremarkable that's all by itself. The words "MENTAL ABILITY TRAINING" is scribbled on a sign right above it. There's a long, long line waiting outside and it's very obvious that the soldiers taking this are doing it as a way to recover from the other courses instead of actually showing any potential or interest. The soldiers who do exit are pretty shellshocked but otherwise healthy. <span class="mu-b">Probably trains RESTRAINT and WILLPOWER.</span>
The main piece-de-resistance is a ten mile wide section of land separated from the rest of the base by a double layer of chainlink fence with two guards standing by at the gate. You can't make out much of anything thanks to a thick layer of grey smog flooding the perimeter.
